0001 What: raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
0002 Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
0003 Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
0004 Description:
0005 /dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
0006 access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability
0007 to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
0008 of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much
0009 of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
0010
0011 Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
0012 firewire-core.

0015 libraw1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI
